Getting Com Errors when Connecting to TomTom Site.

I'm starting to wonder what's going on with my 910. I get a server error lately when trying to connect to the TomTom site and it is starting to tell me my 910 doesn't have certain capabilities to download stuff into it. Is my 910 getting to be older technology? ANyone else getting errors when connecting their 910 to the TomTom website?

Color Scheme

What color scheme do you use on your TomTom? Right now I am using one I downloaded which is made to look like the Garmin colors.

Do you use a different scheme for night driving?

GO-910 Unable to Add OV2 Files

Following instruction found here detailing how to add POI OV2 files to the GO-910 resulted in them not being found on the 910. Looking at the contents of the hard disk in the 910 shows the files are there, but the 910 does not see or list them in the POI index.

What Interesting Features Have You Found on Your TomTom?

What interesting features have you found on your TomTom? Something simple to you may be a wonderful discovery for a newbie (or an old hand who hasn't explored their TT very much wink ).

For example: when using the Browse Map function, you can touch a POI icon and you will get a pop-up window that says what it is, e.g. "What-a-Burger."

TomTom 720 in Reno

I open my brand new 720 in Reno last weekend, I was going to where the air races are being held. I found this funny thought. I put in the air field and NO hits at all. Stead air field. I tried many different things. Different POI categories and just stead and other things. No hits at all. I did get there, with the help of the internet.

TomTom Introduces new 5" Models

Any way to look along total route for fuel prices?

A TomTom Go 740 LIVE seems to be limited to 8 pages of 6 items each for search results for almost anything I search for.

We tend to take long trips and like to plan gas purchases as far as 450 to 500 miles away. There does not seem to be a way to do that unless there are 48 or fewer fuel places found along the route.

How close to route does a POI need to be to be found?

When searching along a route, how close does a POI have to be to the planned route to be found (TomTom GO 740).

Can a road be added with Mapshare?

I'm a Garmin Nuvi owner, but regretted my purchase choice after learning about Mapshare. A friend now has a Tom Tom (a choice he made on his own without my input) and in discussing it with him I'm told that he can't add a missing road.

Turn off "do you need to get there at a particular time"?

A TomTom GO 740 seems to typically ask if I need to get to my destination at a particular time at the start of route planning. Is there a way to say I never want to do that so bug off?

I have looked in preferences and cannot seem to find it.

Thanks

Later: I have discovered it is coupled to whether or not I want leeway times displayed in the status bar.
